For in vitro diagnostic use. 2. Multiple storage conditions exist; see Table 1. 3. Universal safety precautions should be used when handling any human tissues or fluids. Specimens should be disposed of according to local requirements. 4. Follow good laboratory practices. Wear protective disposable gloves, laboratory coats, and eye protection when handling specimens and kit reagents. Wash hands thoroughly after handling specimens and reagents. 5. Do not pool reagents from different lots or from different vials/bottles of the same lot. 6. 7. 8. 9. Do not use reagents after their expiration date. Prior to use, the Proteinase K lyophilized enzyme should be dissolved in nuclease-free water. A volume of 1 mL of water should be added to each vial as needed. When resuspended with water, the 1 mL vial of Proteinase K should be divided into aliquots and again frozen at -30° to -15°C in a non-frost-free freezer. Thaw only as much Proteinase K as needed for each extraction. Repeated freezing and thawing of the enzyme can cause a loss of function. If a white precipitate has formed in the Wash Buffer, prior to use, gently shake or stir at room temperature until the solids dissolve. Do not heat to recombine. Product components (product residuals, packaging) can be considered as laboratory waste. Dispose of unused reagents and waste in accordance with applicable federal, state, and local regulations.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE FOR MANUAL PROCEDURE Genfind® DNA Extraction Procedure Sample Conversion Procedure SurePath TM ® TM Liquid PreservCyt Liquid Cytology Samples and converted SurePath Cytology Samples – 96-well Plate Method 1. Mix the cervical specimen well by vortexing or shaking vigorously. Transfer 2.0 mL of each specimen to a well of a 96-well 2.2 mL plate. 2. Centrifuge the 96 well 2.2 mL plate at approximately 1100 RCF for 10-15 minutes. ® 3. Place the 2.2 mL plate on the SPRI Plate 96R Super Magnet Plate. Remove the supernatant using a multi-channel pipette or a 96-well aspirator and pump (pressure of aspirator should be approximately 100 mm Hg vac). Remove approximately 1.9 mL of the supernatant leaving 50-100 µL of residual volume. Take care to only remove supernatant and not cellular material. NOTE: IF USING AN ASPIRATOR RINSE WITH FRESH DISTILLED WATER FOLLOWING STEPS 3, 8, 11, 12, and 14. 4. Add 400 µL of the Lysis Buffer/proteinase K mixture to each well containing sample of the 96-well plate. NOTE: USE NEW TIPS FOR EACH SAMPLE WELL IN ALL LIQUID TRANSFER STEPS. Liquid Cytology Samples – 96-well Plate Method NOTE: THE SUREPATHTM LIQUID CYTOLOGY SAMPLE USED IN THIS METHOD IS THE RESIDUAL ENRICHED PELLET CERVICAL SAMPLE PROCESSED ACCORDING TO THE PREPSTAIN™ SLIDE PROCESSOR OPERATOR’S MANUAL – PREPSTAIN™ PROCESS PROCEDURE. 1. 2. 3. Add 0.2 mL Conversion Solution to each sample. Incubate the plate on a Digital Dry Block Heater set to 115°C (+/- 2°C) for 60 minutes. Upon incubation completion, remove plate from the heat block. Transfer the entire contents of each converted sample to a well of a second 2.2 mL plate containing 1.59mL of water. NOTE: USE NEW TIPS FOR EACH SAMPLE LIQUID TRANSFER. For the Manual 96-well plate method, continue to step 2 of the section “PreservCyt® Liquid Cytology Samples and converted SurePathTM Liquid Cytology Samples – 96-well Plate Method”. ® For the MTA System, refer to the Cervista MTA Operator’s Manual (Part Number MAN-02378-002) for the instructions for use for the Cervista® MTA System. Mix the residual enriched pellet cervical sample well by vortexing or shaking vigorously. Transfer 1.0 mL of each sample to a well of a 96-well 2.2 mL plate. Centrifuge the 96 well 2.2mL plate at approximately 1100 RCF for 10 minutes. ® Place the 2.2 mL plate on the SPRI Plate 96R Super Magnet Plate. Remove the supernatant using a multi-channel pipette or a 96-well aspirator and pump (pressure of aspirator should be approximately 100 mm Hg vac). Remove the supernatant leaving 50-100 µL of residual volume. Take care to only remove supernatant and not cellular material. NOTE: IF USING AN ASPIRATOR, RINSE THE ASPIRATOR WITH FRESH DISTILLED WATER FOLLOWING THIS STEP. 5. 3 Incubate the plate on a thermomixer for 15 minutes at 37C +/-2C and 1000 rpm. NOTE: AFTER THIS STEP, TURN THE THERMOMIXER THERMOSTAT OFF. THE THERMOMIXER THERMOSTAT SHOULD REMAIN OFF FOR ALL SUBSEQUENT STEPS. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. IMPORTANT: Mix the Binding Buffer thoroughly by inverting the bottle many times, making sure the beads are fully resuspended. After mixing, add 200 µL to each well containing sample of the 96-well plate. Place the plate on a thermomixer and mix at 1000 rpm for 2-3 minutes. Place the SPRI® Plate 96R Super Magnet Plate on the spacer and place the 2.2mL plate on the magnet for 4-6 minutes or until beads form a distinct ring and solution is clear. Aspirate the entire supernatant taking care not to disturb the beads. NOTE: USE OF A SPACER IS NECESSARY FOR ALL SUBSEQUENT ASPIRATION STEPS IF USING THE 96 WELL ASPIRATOR AND PUMP. Remove the plate from the magnet and spacer and add 400 µL of Wash Buffer to the plate wells containing beads. Place the plate on a thermomixer and mix at 1000 rpm for 4-6 minutes. Place the SPRI® Plate 96R Super Magnet Plate on the spacer and place the 2.2mL plate on the magnet for 4-6 minutes or until beads form a distinct ring and solution is clear. Aspirate entire supernatant taking care to not disturb the beads. NOTE: The plate should remain on the magnet and spacer during steps 12-14. Add 400 µL of 70% ethanol to the wells containing beads and incubate for 30-60 seconds. The beads should form a distinct ring. Aspirate entire supernatant. Repeat the 70% ethanol wash by adding 400 µL 70% of ethanol to the wells containing beads and incubate for 30-60 seconds. The beads should form a distinct ring. Aspirate entire supernatant. Allow the beads to air dry for 3-4 minutes. NOTE: IT IS IMPORTANT TO REMOVE ALL RESIDUAL ETHANOL BEFORE PROCEEDING TO THE NEXT STEP. Remove the plate from the magnet and add 120 µL of 10mM Tris to each well containing beads. Place the plate on a thermomixer and alternate mixing at: i. 1000 rpm for 2-3 minutes ii. Let stand for 2-3 minutes. iii. 1000 rpm for 2-3 minutes. Place the plate on a magnet for 10 minutes or until beads form a distinct ring and solution is clear. While the plate is still on the magnet, transfer 110 µL of the DNA solution to a clean 96-well PCR plate using a multi-channel pipette. If the beads are present visually in the DNA solution, place the 96-well PCR plate on the magnet and allow any particles to settle. While the plate is still on a magnet, transfer 100 µL of DNA to a clean 96-well PCR plate. Seal the plate with a foil plate sealer. 20. DNA can be stored at 4–8C for up to four weeks. For storage longer than four weeks, store the sample DNA in a –20 or –80C non-frost-free freezer. ® PreservCyt Liquid Cytology Samples – Tube Method NOTE: THE TUBE METHOD HAS NOT BEEN VALIDATED FOR USE WITH TM THE SUREPATH LIQUID CYTOLOGY SAMPLE. 1.
